Wind Power Its Pros and ConsThe quest to find
an alternative energy resource that is in
accordance with history and latest trend in
technology has paved the way for humans to look
after the environment and to preserve the natural
resources. An alternative energy resource is wind
power. This is not a new discovery but overtime
it took a fresh and better tactic. History will
reveal that hundreds of years ago, windmills were
already use in Europe in wind farms with wind
turbines in order to gain as much as wind energy
as possible. This is an effective method in
producing the maximum wind energy however, there
are pros and cons that one has to be aware with
in this kind of alternative source of energy.

Week 5 Individual Questions Prepare a response to
Critical and Creative Thinking Questions 15 in
Ch. 15 of Visualizing Geology. Provide an
explanation in your responses.Oil production in
the United States satisfies only half of the
country's needs the rest is imported. If imports
were cut off, what changes would you expect to
occur in your lifestyle? If you are interested in
controversies, investigate how geophysicist M.
King Hubbert predicted in 1956 that annual U.S.
oil production would peak in the early 1970s (the
actual peak occurred in 1971). Also, investigate
the debate over whether the same predictive
technique can be applied to world oil supplies.
When do you think world oil production will reach
its peakor has it done so already?
